Aynsley Lister returns to bring you 20 blues breaking licks that will enhance and inspire your Blues solos! Learning and mastering these highly dynamic and expressive licks will give you all the essential tools you'll need to jam out the Blues like a pro!

Theory-wise you'll find Aynsley uses the Blues, Dorian, Aeolian, Harmonic minor and Chromatic scales to add style and finesse to his melodic approach. You'll also stumble across some interesting arpeggio ideas, ways to break free of the standard 'blues box' and plenty of the 'ambiguous minor/major vibe' that so many Blues players have come to know and love!

We've also included 5 lick backing tracks each with varying levels of intensity so you'll have a wide scope for jamming out different soloing ideas. Once you've nailed all 20 licks we have compiled each of the 5 backings to create a full jam track where you can cut loose and implement all the soloing ideas you've picked up from studying the licks!

As ever, we have included everything you need to practise and perfect the material in this package. There are video and audio tracks for you to watch/listen and study, accurately transcribed TAB/notation for you to analyse and master as well as backing tracks for you to practise every lick to, and jam out your own solos! We've even included some text notes to help you really get these parts down!

Who it Solofire for?

Let’s start with who it’s not for. It’s definitely not for absolute beginners. So, if you just got your guitar, then this is not for you. It’s also probably not for "beginners” either. Meaning, if you’ve never played a guitar solo and you don’t know any scales or lead-licks, this is probably isn’t for you either. It’s also not for acoustic-only players because the majority of the training is for electric guitar.

Here’s who it is for: the intermediate player who’s already got some chops. Someone who can already play say, the pentatonic scale in first position, or a few licks. The solid rhythm player, who wants to learn lead, from the ground up. For the person who knows there’s a lot more to guitar soloing than just learning some licks. And guitarists who can already solo a little but who get stuck easily, run out of ideas, and don’t really understand how to improvise a great solo from scratch.

Guitar styles taught

The training focuses on lead guitar in blues and rock style. Most of the techniques are for electric guitar. And many concepts could be adapted to acoustic as well. All the training is based on A minor pentatonic. Which makes everything super easy to follow. But, of course, you’ll learn all about transposition and how to play in any key, over any song as well.

There is a new wave of fusion players, and Daniele Gottardo is at the forefront! Playing 'Outside' is a skill that is one of the toughtest to be able to grasp...but with this incredible set of 20 licks you are going to master it!

Daniele Says:

'Within this package you will find lots of ideas and different solutions to play over a minor harmony based around the Dorian Mode. I used different colors and ideas typical of the Fusion style: the use of the notes out of the harmony ( passing tones, enclosures , escape tones and others ) harmonic substitutions, ghost progression and coltrane changes. These ideas are played with a modern approach to the instrumental technique using legato, hybrid picking mixed with alternate picking, 8 fingers tapping and other. The licks are ordered and developed from easy to difficult, starting with four notes per beat and come in the last example to eight notes per beat! Have fun to study these ideas that you will find useful in the Fusion but also in the modern rock and metal era'

Each lick comes in full speed audio and video, plus a slower speed so that you can analyse every little detail! Also included is the backing track at different BPM's, giving you the backdrop to work on each lick at your own pace, as well as creating your own licks. As ever, accurate JTC TAB/Notation is included for each lick, plus there are some notes for each lick to help you further.
